She stared in horror as the tip of the blade came closer and closer. She raised her hand in front of her, almost as if 'twas a shield. "No!" she tried to make out, but only a coarse cry came out.

❝Now, are you ready to die for a cause?❞

***
Kylian "Ky" Salsthorn was not a man of honour, nor scholarship, nor wealth -- he never had been. He was a poor thief, and nothing more. He became the guest of an unorthodox princess for her birthday celebration, but during that seemingly delightful time, the king and queen were assassinated. Soon, Ky earned the title of King of the Aurorans after he married the newly coronated queen of Aurora. That was when he encountered the feeling of power for the first time. 'Twas beautiful, 'twas corrupted -- and Kylian was willing to stop at nothing to secure it. And shall he choose to represent tyranny rather than challenge it, let it be inevitable that his demise be stained red with his blood as the crown before him.

The Tyrant's Queen by coko_rose
75 parts Ongoing Mature
"I am bored, my Queen. So, entertain me." ~ * ~ Young Prince Lucien of Aesna is more suited for the countryside than the royal palace of fatal mind games and seasonal assassinations. Despite being shunned for being born to a palace maid, Lucien practices utmost loyalty as a soldier, leading battles for his country. That's until one day, he's captured and tortured as hostage, then used as a bargaining chip for Aesna's enemies to get back a valuable piece of land. But there is no bargain- Lucien, almost promptly, is given up by his own country. Years later a bloody coup breaks out between the two princes of Aesna, leaving all men of royal blood dead or crippled. With two neighboring countries waiting to pounce on the destabilized nation, the royal officials get back Prince Lucien in exchange for the land he was given up for. They welcome the prince as king, remembering the soft-hearted and naïve boy and ready to easily control him as puppet king with bribes, flattery and threats. But the man they put on the throne, is more madman than king, more beast than human, heralding another bloodbath in Aesna. ~ * ~ To avoid being forced to work as a bar girl, May lives as boy "Toma" in a small town of Aesna. But one day a man offers to pay off all her debts- in exchange for marrying him. Little does she know he's the mad, new king of Aesna. ~ * ~ His callused hand cupped the back of her head and lifted her face. He wasn't harsh, but he wasn't gentle, either. The smell of the wine on his breath was hot on her face. "...You yourself know the answer, sire." Lucien's eyes slipped from her eyes, to her lips. "Oh, do I?" he growled. His mouth swooped in without any tenderness, and his hand seized and tightened around the back of her neck, yanking her close to him. ** "Are you done, sire? Or do you order me to love you?" ** Started uploads: 5 Aug 2022 -1K: 12 chapters uploaded, 3 Nov 2022

A Beast's Tale by katiegoesmew
91 parts Complete Mature
Cold, cruel, calculating. These are the words that best describe Chevalier Michel, the second prince of Rhodolite. A genius and a master swordsman, he has well and truly earned the monikers the Brutal Beast and the Bloody Tiger, and he's worked his whole life toward the singular goal of claiming the throne. Now, that goal is within reach. But his world turns upside-down when a new maid shows up in his private library, a woman who can stand up to him when nobody else can. So begins an impossible romance. The Brutal Beast, and Rhodolite, will never be the same again. ***** Based on the otome game Ikemen Prince: Beauty and Her Beast. All images come from the game, and I've also included some dialogue from the prologue and Chevalier's romantic ending where Belle chooses him as king. There is no explicit content, but themes and content are mature. This is an accompaniment to "A Dove's Tale," and it started off as a writing experiment for me to try retelling the story from a male perspective, which I'd never done before. I strongly recommend reading "A Dove's Tale" in its entirety before reading this. The current version of "A Dove's Tale," written based only on Chevalier's route, has been entered in the Amby Awards 2023. I have since read Leon's, Yves', Nokto's, and Licht's routes, and "A Beast's Tale" contains a TON of new content. Also, there are some Easter Eggs/references to an older Ikemen game called Midnight Cinderella. Content Warning: Contains themes of assault, attempted rape, child abuse, depression, extreme violence gore, self-harm, sexual assault abuse, suicide, torture, violent death.
